Neighbors are friendly. Most families have been there for 20+ years. They are very helpful and knowledge about the area. There are many kids of all ages on our street. You will also find that many people walk throughout the neighborhoods. There are blue trail markers signs every where. So, there are very nice walks all around the forested open space areas.
